The SEC already has a problem with several great teams likely to have 9-3 records, or worse. But Georgia is the standard, with the loss to Auburn excused by several other great performances, earning the No. 1 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings.
But the Bulldogs have to be on high alert with a showdown at South Carolina next – there will be a big, big problem if they blow this.
CFP No. 22 Missouri is 6-3 with a loss to Texas last week, but even with three losses, if it beats a top-ranked Georgia squad and ends up finishing 9-3, it will have a case to be in the CFP.

Why Missouri Will Win
The Tigers have to keep taking the ball away.

The Tigers are 4-1 when forcing multiple takeaways.

Why Georgia Will Win
The Bulldogs have settled in. It was an unfocused effort against Auburn, and then it all worked against Florida and Ole Miss in dominant performances. The lines stepped up their play, the running game has been terrific, and the big plays in the passing game have shown up.
The depth, speed, and talent are shining through. The run defense is stuffing everything – Missouri is 0-3 in its three worst rushing games, all under 120 yards. Georgia has only allowed more than 120 yards against Alabama and in that loss to Auburn. And …
Missouri at Georgia Prediction, Betting Lines
Missouri doesn’t have a turnover problem – it hasn’t given the ball away multiple times in any game – but it’s got no chance if it does.

This will be a workmanlike win for the Bulldogs. Missouri will have some early success, but the Georgia lines will be too overwhelming.
